Falmer to Falmouth...going to Falmer can confuse the clerk at Trowbridge, as I was behind a girl who wanted to go to Falmer, but he had never heard of it and tried constantly to sell her a ticket to Falmouth :lol:

Once had a guy get on at Bramley once and ask for a ticket to Bramley. Which confused me somewhat so I asked if he meant somewhere else as that is where he just got on. Then he pointed out he wanted a return from Bramley (Hants) to Bramley (W Yorks)!

Meols to Meols Cop (Both in Merseyside)

And at one time you could have done Garston (Merseyside) to Garston (Herts) but the Merseyside one is now renamed Liverpool South Parkway!

I presume that would have been the Merseyrail Electrics Allerton stop

Am surprised the Ashford to Ashford and Rainham to Rainham ones haven't been mentioned.
The Ashford's football teams played each other in some cup competition a year or two back - both teams being called Ashford Town. How would you know which fans were chanting for which team ?

It's a pity Towcester no longer has a station, if it did you could order a ticket for

Sandwich - Towcester
